Of course, dating it to 1999, in part buys into the lies that got us here in the first place.
The Orthodox Christian Serbs of Kosovo have been being attacked by Albanians long before that. The Albanians in Kosovo joined with the Nazis and Ustashe in the persecution of Serbs, and even before that: a poster on another thread recalled that the Ottoman Sultan had to issue a ban on Albanian attacks on Christians, as it was hurting the tax-base for the jizya.
And in the interim: look at NYTimes archives from the 1980’s. Lots of stories about Albanian harrassment of Serbs.
All that happened in the 1990’s was the Serbs tried to fight back, only to have the West intervene on behalf of the terrorists and criminals.
I agree and I understand.
Too many American troops have already died protecting radical muslim expansionism and muslim terrorists.
It is time for George Bush to remember his job is to protect the interests of the United States - not of the new Islamic Caliphate.
Russia and China both oppose this muslim expansion and the stealing of sovereign Serbian territory by Albanian muslims.
Russia is already chafing at NATO’s expansion on its own doorstep and there is a fair chance that Russia will intervene to stop the killing of the remaining Serbs in Kosovo.
The US under George Bush certainly isn’t doing it.
Many people forgot, or don’t know, that the catalyst for WWI was a situation similar to this in this exact part of the world.
It started out small and ended up setting the world powers against one another.
Don’t think it can’t happen again.
